8-channel IP video recorder for 1000 rubles

  • Dec 24, 2019

The Russian stores cheapest eight-channel DVR for IP-based cameras (NVR) is from 3000 rubles, on Aliexpress such registrar can be found for $ 30, but you can buy a recorder is almost twice cheaper than in the form of board.


From "ready" registrar fee by the absence of the body and the power supply, but often it is a plus, not a minus: better to take power with an uninterrupted power supply BBP ( https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1043712.html)As well as housing for the recorder and the disc use a sealed junction box.


I bought for $ 14, a receptionist at the store USAFEQLO on Aliexpress. Now it's there It costs $ 17.39.


It turned out that this fee NBD8008RA-GLK the most widespread Chinese manufacturer of CCTV equipment XiongMaiTech (XM). Here its specifications from the manufacturer:


Registrar built on HiSilicon Hi3536D processor. It works with cameras and ONVIF protocols NETIP, supports encoding H.265 ++ / H.265 + / H.265 / H.264 and resolution to 4 MP. As the recording apparatus can be used a hard disk or SSD with SATA interface. Supported cloud XMeye. Power board - 12 volts.

Included are only two loop to connect the drive.


At the registrar two video outputs for connection of the monitor - VGA and HDMI, two USB connectors for the mouse and USB drive, which can throw off the recorded videos. WIFI adapters and modems are not supported. 12V power connector standard - 5.5 / 2.1 mm. LAN connector has two status LEDs, connectors for standard hard drive. On the left there is the front panel connector (connected to it, indicators, and IR remote control receiver when the recorder stands in the normal case), but the appointment of its conclusions on the manufacturer's website is not described.

And from the bottom.


To set up I have connected to the recorder 64 GB SSD, a mouse, a monitor and a pair of cameras.


I measured how much consumes recorder. In the normal mode charge consumes 152 mA, the maximum consumption of 170 mA. With the SSD-connected drive current draw does not exceed 300 mA.

There are several ways to control the registrar:

- USB-mouse on the monitor connected to the recorder (most convenient for initial setup);
- On a computer through Internet Explorer (other browsers are not supported);
- On a computer using the standard or alternative CMS program;
- On your smartphone through the cloudy XMEye application.

View live video from the cameras and can record on a monitor or TV connected to the Registrar, on the computer (in IE or CMS program) on your smartphone through XMEye (data is transmitted through the cloud, so your smartphone can be even on the other side of the ball).

The main menu on the monitor.


Settings menu in IE.


It supports two modes of operation: 8 channels and 4 MB or 4 channels up to 5 MB. Simultaneous reproduction - 1 channel.


Motion recording works (it is important to understand that all the NVR does not detect the movement and get the team record with cameras, so in order to record the movement of work, it must be enabled and configured on each chamber). Prerecord no minimum recording time after the cessation of movement - 10 seconds.


The monitor can display any single channel, four channels, 8 channels + data bit rate, channel 1 and 7 coarsely finely.

It is possible to adjust the sensor settings directly from the camera recorder menu.


View records.


The interface on the screen there are two viewing modes - normal and Smart Express (in this mode, you can set the acceleration and each time the playback will be accelerated).


Mobile application XMEye more or less convenient. There are auto-type mode, when it is activated after an application launch screen immediately shows the device of choice. After clicking on the name of the device opens a list of its channels. After clicking on the channel number begins to show live video of the selected channel.


If your smartphone is rotated, the picture displayed on the entire screen.


Stretching the image with two fingers can be increased up to four times as much and watch any of his region.


In time mode shows the tape viewing records, which marked the moments of motion recording.


There are two display modes tape: rough (hours) and more accurate (minutes). The tape can scroll with your finger to the desired setting time. When the fragment ends playback automatically starts playing the next. The video can be viewed from the deceleration and acceleration. Exactly the same as when viewing live video, you can increase the desired track, pushing his fingers and watch videos in full screen mode, turning the smartphone into a horizontal position. The only disadvantage - a continuous view works only within a single day, to watch the recording for the next day, you need to select the calendar, and in some days there are records, and in which there is no displayed.

Recently I talked about the Super-DVR Enster N9000-8EX (ammo1.livejournal.com/1035792.html). Both recorder built on the same chip and have almost the same functions. But there are two differences suschostvennyh:
- have a 5 volt power supply Enster MicroUSB, at the board - 12 volts and a round connector.
- Board wrote to the SATA device (HDD or SSD) and provides power to the 5/12 volt any drive, Enster writes on the MicroSD card, USB-stick, USB external drives, as well as drives that are connected by eSATA (cable is not supplied to SATA power required external).

Which of the larger registrars will suit you depends on which media (and most importantly of volume) you want to use. This charge I set my mother on a summer residence with the disk SSD 64 GB. Past month use of four cameras in motion recording mode, the disc has not yet been filled. His dacha Enster I installed a 32 GB memory stick as storage. With two cameras and recording the movement of it will be enough for at least a month (which means records will be kept for at least a month).

Board eight-channel recorder NBD8008RA-GLK works flawlessly. A month she lived in a sealed junction box and has not yet hung, despite the heat.
